Film Night at WCSPP occurs twice a year, typically in the fall and in the spring. It’s a time for us, as a community, to share clinical perspectives on remarkable movies that we view, often coming from other cultures and sometimes from our own. The films we watch share a common thread: they all speak to the depths of who we are as people and the ways, influenced by culture, that we live, mourn, love, suffer, and manage challenge. CE credits are available for those who attend.

The Psychoanalytic Association of WCSPP sponsors a series of Friday evening speakers on a wide range of topics relevant to the practice of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Consistent with the pluralistic mission and ethos of our institute, our scientific meetings present diverse opinions and theoretical perspectives. Recent meetings, for example, have addressed working with grief in psychotherapy, multiple listening perspectives in psychodynamic therapy, better understanding of children with autism, a new understanding of perception of aggression in women, and ethical issues in psychoanalytic practice. CE credits are available for those who attend.
